Poor boy. Mom has to drive a &60,000 Mercedes-Benz SUV. He lives in a $1 million home. But Mom is too busy to get him a haircut and, as a result, he has a serious discipline problem. Dad is a COOK (gasp, how low can you go?). Do you know how that makes the millions of people who cook for a living feel? This is the kind of crap Hollywood has churned out to insult and humiliate "middle America". No wonder that hate us in Kansas.
BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.In this film: A woman (Nicole de Boer) Disillusioned Liza McCann and her son travel to Hollyville to visit her estranged father. The town's profuse decorations and intense Yuletide spirit exasperate Liza, who has hated the holidays ever since she was a little girl. But a series of magic and inexplicable events force Liza to rethink everything she thought was true. This is a film you will love or hate. If you like Christmas movies then you will love this. If you are a "Scrooge" . "Grinch" or a "Mr. Potter" don't bother to watch. I like this film even though it has LOW BUDGET and the sets are cheap, If you look close you will see the same extras in one scene. There is a woman in a purple top carrying purse seen several times.What works wonders in this film is that it does capture (To Me) that great feeling you have when its Christmas Time. For me I love "The Christmas Season and Movies" as much as most men love Football Season. So a film like "Christmas Town" is perfect for me, Parents with small children should watch this with them. It will Create a great memory!
On my first viewing of Christmas Town a number of years ago, on the wee hours of Christmas, I wasn't that impressed. You can laugh, but I found my snoozing pet rat at the time more interesting. However, the second time around, the movie warmed to me. It's a simple story line; workaholic mother and her son go on a trip to visit her grandfather during the holiday season, who happens to live in a very Christmas-sy town. There's Christmassy themed bistros, announcements over the radio about reindeer births, you name it, it's happening there. The movie isn't a high budget shiny production, but it's a cute romp worth a look or two.
I didn't enjoy this movie at all. Mason is annoying. He's a bratty kid who refuses to listen to ANYTHING. The way they have him dressed in this movie is annoying as well. I constantly wanted to wash his hair and cut it and get rid of that stupid hat! And then the diner guy's voice just totally gets on my LAST nerve! Then I realize that this is the "older man" that took Kelly away from Zach, which now that's all I can see. And it doesn't help that the main character looks like Tiffany Amber in a way. She, too, is irritating. All she cares about is work. You see some humanity, and then she's back to the cell phone. She's too wishy-washy. I hate this movie just based on the actors alone, but the storyline is not much better. It's boring and moves terribly slow. I spent most of the time wanting to discipline the kid!
